All Discovery models come with a permanent all-wheel-drive system as standard. Although neither engine serves up super-refined, vibration-free operation, both are mated to an excellent eight-speed automatic controlled by a rotary shift knob that rises from the center console when the ignition button is pressed. Models sporting the Si6 emblem are powered by a 340-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine, whereas Td6 models come with a 254-hp diesel 3.0-liter V-6. Likes: Husky towing capacity, gasoline- and diesel-powered options, impressive off-road capability.ĭislikes: Both engines could use some refinement, ponderous handling, soft brake-pedal feel. Engine, Transmission, Performance, and Towing We'd also opt for the 7 Seat package, which includes a pop-up third row, a two-speed transfer case with high and low ranges, and an electronically controlled air suspension.

Of the three trim levels, we'd go with the midrange HSE, which adds plenty of features to justify its upcharge versus the base SE, such as 20-inch wheels, front and rear fog lamps, keyless entry, a panoramic sunroof, a 380-watt Meridian audio system, and 12-way power-adjustable front seats. The 2019 Discovery offers either a gasoline or diesel engine, and we'd pick the former, which is supercharged, pumps out 340 horsepower, and boasts 8201 pounds of towing capacity. Upscale HSE and HSE Luxury models now come with a real-time wading-depth information system and a heated windshield is now available as a standalone option on all models.

The InControl Touch Pro infotainment system sees a few software updates and offers optional Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The base SE model now comes with more standard equipment, including LED headlamps, a power-operated inner tailgate, lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and a new steering wheel with capacitive-touch button controls a four-zone automatic climate-control system is now optional on the SE. For those times when your adventure calls for on-road duty, the Discovery delivers a plush ride, an upscale cabin, and plenty of infotainment and driver-assistance tech-some of which is newly standard for 2018. And getting to those trailside sights is one of the Disco's main selling points, as it boasts a maximum 11.1 inches of ground clearance-more than some jacked-up four-wheel-drive pickup trucks-thanks to an optional air-adjustable suspension and all of Land Rover's adventure-oriented off-road gear.

From all three rows of seats, occupants are treated to spacious accommodations with a clear view of the road ahead as well as the roadside or trailside sights you'll encounter along the way. Few SUVs are as capable as the 2019 Land Rover Discovery-and that refers both to its off-road potential and its people-hauling competence.
